Command line tool to delete folder with a specified name recursively in Windows?
Similar to BlackTigerX's "for", I was going to suggest
for /d /r . %d in (_svn) do @if exist "%d" rd /s/q "%d"
Time to learn some PowerShell ;o)
Get-ChildItem -path c:\projet -Include '_svn' -Recurse -force | Remove-Item -force -RecurseThe first part finds each _svn folder recursively. Force is used to find hidden folders.Second part is used to delete these folders and their contents.Remove commandlet comes with a handy "whatif" parameter which allows to preview what will be done.
PowerShell is available for Windows XP and Windows Vista. It is present on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default.
It's a MS product, it's free, and it rocks!
For inclusion/invocation from within a BATCH file use (say for removing Debug and Release folder):
for /d /r . %%d in (Debug Release) do @if exist "%%d" echo "%%d" && rd /s/q "%%d"double % are required within a batch file to work as escape chars. Else it reports error of syntax.
Thanks.
